New Spring Fundraiser
Dear Unit Leader,
For several years it has been apparent that the camp card sale was only benefiting a handful of units in the Council. With a 2019 pricing change that would make the unit profit smaller, the Council decided to investigate other fundraisers to help Scouts earn their way to camp.
Since “Be Prepared” is the motto of the BSA, it is felt that selling first aid kits goes along with our Scouting program. The first aid sale will be run as a take order sale with order sheets just like popcorn. There are several varieties of kits that are great to put in your car, take on a camping trip, and there is even one for pets all from the Right Response Company.
